Now...he is SO not a reader, but he talked about this book so much, and how it touched him. It touched me too....esp. the part about the hair...I don't know why, but that got to me. The things this young boy lived through to become the man he is today is astounding.Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245554563405436101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12709723.post-64927288714277858522008-05-17T08:37:00.000-04:002008-05-17T08:37:00.000-04:00He is a hero of mine... a wonderful man and what a...He is a hero of mine... a wonderful man and what an amazing opportunity you had to meet the great man himself...<BR/><BR/>... and today there are the holocaust deniers and with the demise of any survivors the story has to be told and told and told<BR/><BR/>... today in our schools in Great Britian the holocaust is being removed from the curriculum as not to offend muslims<BR/><BR/>funny world we live in... huh!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12709723.post-25037980652122231692008-05-16T15:08:00.000-04:002008-05-16T15:08:00.000-04:00Elie Wiesel is a hero.
